Should the government provide subsidies for first-time homebuyers?

These subsidies are financial aids from the government to help individuals purchase their first home, making homeownership more accessible. Proponents argue that it helps people afford their first home and promotes homeownership. Opponents argue that it distorts the housing market and could lead to higher prices.

No, they should be working on making house prices cheaper so subsidies are not required as subsidies just drive the price of housing up

 @9NPYCYCanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, but measures need to be in place to prevent these subsidies from simply being absorbed by property developers - through increased prices

 @9ZSNF2Fanswered…6 days6D

Yes but they need to be accessible to all, not just people who have a minimum that often means they don’t need help beyond that, and also there needs to be regulations in place to make sure that the ability to get help from the government doesn’t lead to hiking up prices

 @9ZS7T2Ganswered…6 days6D

Yes, but only if this was made this available also for the purchase of second-hand homes and with a banded cap, instead of a straight cut-off.

No, operate 100% mortgage for anyone renting 5+ years who can prove they could pay rent consistently.

Subsidies will only increase the amount people are willing to spend on a property which will just further increase housing prices.

 @9ZK4LXCanswered…2wks2W

No, but the government should pursue policies which will cause deflation of prices in the housing market

No- we should be in a situation where they don't need to. Building needs to be faster, and more to drive down demand, and prices.
